What Color Of Wallgoes With Red



At, April 4, 2010 Easter Party
Yesu anagonjetsa IMFA (Jesus has conquered death)


central message of the Christian faith, Jesus is alive!
Our Holy Week began with shouts of joy from the procession of Palm Sunday . Moment of joy before the betrayal, arrest, conviction and murder of Jesus.

Our Christians paved the way to crosses on Good Friday with the participation of adult catechumens. The procession starts at the top of the hill nearby. The crowd is already gathered and waiting for the starting signal.
- Where is the cross? - Oh! The cross! - Yes! The cross. Are we not ready for the start of the procession? - is that ...! We have forgotten. I can not believe my ears. This one is good. We lack the cross. - We just sent a young man for her. We told him of course st We forgot the cross, "he said. Is not that extraordinary? How can we forget the cross? Indeed, there is nothing extraordinary to forget the cross of Jesus and his passion. It bothers us both.
Cross of Jesus
Symbol of suffering
sign intolerable
subject of controversy
Anticipation of our own death

How can we believe that a crucified can change the world? Evil wins again. What good is believing, since faith is useless? Is this true?

The heart became deaf. Fierce criticism raining down on the Church. Rage, as the storm does not just scold, she falls violently. Scandal pedophile priests defile the messengers of the Gospel. Is it the wrath of God?

Yet marvel at the joy of Easter this year more than ever. Our Easter vigil yesterday evening, lit by simple candles, welcomed 73 new baptized. The fire ignited at the entrance of the church illuminated the celebration for three hours, reading the Scriptures, profession of faith, baptism and confirmation, praise songs, sharing the Eucharist. We are far from the tumult of scandals. We focus our attention on the glorious Christ.
- Ought not Christ to have suffered things and enter into his glory? - What do you mean? - In his wounds we are healed.

BY HIS DEATH, JESUS KILLED DEATH.

I remember some ten years ago, somewhere in a funeral home in Quebec, a girl staring at a man making the sign of the cross before a coffin exclaimed
- Ah! So this is the sign of the cross.

Cross of Jesus that one picks up public places
Symbol of suffering in the process of "exculturation"
sign intolerable to hide to avoid offending
Subject of controversy following the example of many other religious symbols
Anticipation of our death q eu we try to forget.
